During the recent recession in the US two chains in different (but connected) industries saw major growth while competitors fell.

Allow me to introduce: Marco's Pizza and Family Video. Two companies which teamed up together in 2012.

Family Video is headquartered in Glenview, IL. However, they operate a main office across the street from the Circuit Clerk's office in Springfield, IL (state capital)

Marco's Pizza secured financing of $7.4 million to open new restaurants. Where did they secure financing? Mainstreet Bank. Headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria. Guess who owns a large chunk of commerce in Lagos, Nigeria. Ronald Chagoury. Major donor to Clinton Foundation. Chagoury Clinton

Unabe to secure financing through traditional means, financing for new Marco's Pizza franchises is secured through Marco's Assurance.

This company has brought on multiple marketing executives from Papa Johns. Cathy Hull CMO, Syl Sosnowski VP Marketing.

With a main office in close proximity to politicians, financing from a bank headquartered near Clinton Foundation territory and a pizza / film partnership I believe this is worth investigating further.

Worth noting the Clinton Foundation was paid $700,000 each for 2011 and 2012 speeches in Nigeria.
